Testing Dryer Heating

GASMODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch

to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat

setting. When the dryer starts, the igniter should

ignite the main burner.
NOTE: If all air is not purged from the gas line,

the gas igniter may turn off before the main

burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will

reattempt gas ignition after approximately

two minutes.

ELECTRICMODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch

to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat

setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the

dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.

Checking Airflow

Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.

The adequacy of the airflow can be measured

by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure

in the exhaust duct can be measured with

a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct

approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer.

Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not

exceed 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) of water column.

The dryer should be checked while the dryer is

running with no load.

Checking Levelness

Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck

the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is

level front to back and side to side, and that

all 4 leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECk

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation

with the following tests and

Duct Condition Testing on the following page.

Any installation in a manufactured or mobile

home must comply with the Manufactured Home

Construction and Safety Standards Title 24 CFR,

Part 32-80 or Standard CAN/CSA0Z240 MH and

local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain

whether your proposed installation will comply

with these standards, please contact a service

and installation professional for assistance.

• A gas dryer must be permanently attached to

the floor.

• The electrical connection for an electric dryer

must be a 4-wire connection. More detailed

information concerning the electrical connection

is provided in the section

Connecting Electric

Dryers.

• To reduce the risk of combustion and fire, the

dryer must be vented to the outside.

• DO NOT vent the dryer under a manufactured

home or mobile home.

• Electric dryers may be vented to the outside

using the back, left, right, or bottom panel.

• Gas dryers may be vented to the outside using

the back, left, or bottom panel. Gas dryers may

not be vented to the outside using the right side

panel because of the burner housing.

• The dryer exhaust duct must be affixed securely

to the manufactured or mobile home structure,

and the exhaust duct must be made of a

material that will resist fire and combustion.

It is recommended that you use a rigid or

flexible metal duct.

• DO NOT connect the dryer exhaust duct

to any other duct, vent, chimney, or other

exhaust duct.

• Make sure the dryer has adequate access to

outside fresh air to ensure proper operation.

The opening for outside fresh air must be at

least 25 in

2

(163 cm

2

).

• It is important that the clearance of the duct

from any combustible construction be at least

2 inches (5 cm), and when venting the dryer to

the outdoors, the dryer can be installed with a

clearance of 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and

back of the dryer.

• Please be aware that venting materials are

not supplied with the dryer. You should obtain

the venting materials necessary for proper

installation.
